>Clark County taxpayers will contribute $750 million to the new arena, a record for a sports facility—about $354 per resident, taken from an increased tax on hotel rooms. That tax currently pays for schools and transportation, in addition to tourism-related expenditures.
>Stanford economist Roger Noll said it was the “worst deal for a city” he had ever seen.
vegas is basically detroit jr. economically
>amerifatdumbfucks
why do cities do this
anyway after reading the article it states the taxpayers aren't paying for this just the tourist
casinos are gambling on themselves to pay for it
no way in hell those casinos are going to fund fucking schools and hospitals
because the mayor gets remembered as the guy who brought the team to the city.

Only the housing market

top fucking zozzle
they will travel for a Vegas vacation that coincides with the Raiders playing their favorite team with cheap ticket prices.
didn't say that but tourist travel to new york for our shit pizza
>bring a NFL team to your city

the real question is why don't more cities do this?

>liberals want more of this to happen
Really makes you think.
and I thought we were out the ass in taxes
Meme arrows do not constitute an argument.
Because no one except New York and LA can generate a lot of tourist at the drop of a dime like Vegas
The city has 2.5 million folks
Then add another 1 million throughout the month from tourist
Yes I'm sure degen gamblers and grannys playing penny slots are just dieing to sit in the desert sun at 1pm on a Sunday to see the Raiders.
Lel, this sport must be so frustrating for you burgers.
>mfw an amerifat was fat near me
Using public funds to attract teams to an area/host a big event (such as Super Bowl or Olympics) makes no sense economically, realistically it is just a vanity project for officials
Kek
>liberals want more of this to happen
Oakland's liberal mayor was against spending public money building a stadium for a rich man. I think you've forgotten which side of the political spectrum kowtows to the rich as an essential principle.
Wait. What am I saying, "forgotten"? You never knew in the first place.
>tax payers contributing to a private company
Land of the 'free'
Why fucking Vegas of all places? Seriously why? 90% of the people there are transplants who already have a team and tourists won't be assed to watch some faggot football game.
They just make shit up then top it off with a meme for maximum (you) s
Because of the stadium. In fact, it'll be even more profitable if the team fails and moves again. It's a win-win.
I'm definitely done with the NFL. Have been for years. Don't understand why people continue to support this scum league.
kek this
>all these NFL shills in here that think tourists are going to fill this stadium
Good goyim, never question daddy goodell.
>liberals
>not run entirely by kowtowing to the rich elite while destroying the middle class with expensive tax-subsidized programs and promises
The "left-wing is against rich people" is the worst goddamn meme to ever infest political discourse. Of course they love it though, makes it easy to reel in the emotional pseudo-intellectual urban rednecks.
I don't think so, Tim.
Why aren't you sleeping? You have lawns to do tomorrow.
I know. It's a fucking joke.
a fucking leaf
>Chargers and Rams were already next to each other to begin with
How (((convenient)))
That's what I thought. Do Las Vegas residents have any blood and soil culture?
